A look at the 2024 Innovation Awards Ceremony
|
Wales' most promising young inventors were recognised for their creative ideas at our 24th annual Innovation Awards. Held in Cardiff Bay on 12 December at The Senedd, the ceremony celebrated the achievements of budding inventors from across Wales.
The Innovation Awards were developed in collaboration with the Welsh Government to inspire creativity among young minds in Wales and provoke them to rethink conventional designs of everyday products and services. Following suit from previous years, the 24th celebration showcased the imaginative talent of young Welsh creatives. The event additionally serves as a reflection on the legacy of Welsh inventors and acknowledges their contributions. |
